From remote beaches full of spectacular nature to perennial gardens with an abundance of bloom and beauty, wandering through the parks, gardens, and beaches of Vancouver Island North is a must for any itinerary. Take refuge with a good book as you rest in the beauty of a garden’s bloom at Shepards’ or Ronning’s Garden, launch a kayak from a day trip to a local regional park, or wander Storey’s Beach beach in search of sea glass and found treasures. Pick a piece of wilderness, and prepare to be mesmerized by its charm.
